Types of Congenital Hyperinsulinism
- Transient neonatal hyperinsulinism
- Focal hyperinsulinism
- Paternal SUR1 mutation with clonal loss of heterozygosity of 11p15
- Paternal Kir6.2 mutation with clonal loss of heterozygosity of 11p15
- Diffuse hyperinsulinism
- Autosomal recessive forms
- SUR1 mutations
- Kir6.2 mutations
- Congenital disorders of glycosylation
- Autosomal dominant forms
- Glucokinase gain-of-function mutations
- Hyperammonemic hyperinsulinism (glutamate dehydrogenase gain-of-function mutations)
- Short chain acyl coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency
- Autosomal recessive forms
- Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (thought to be due to hyperinsulinism but pathophysiology still uncertain: 11p15 mutation or IGF2 excess)

Famous quotes containing the words types of, types and/or congenital:
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
“Our children evaluate themselves based on the opinions we have of them. When we use harsh words, biting comments, and a sarcastic tone of voice, we plant the seeds of self-doubt in their developing minds.... Children who receive a steady diet of these types of messages end up feeling powerless, inadequate, and unimportant. They start to believe that they are bad, and that they can never do enough.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
“A society in which adults are estranged from the world of children, and often from their own childhood, tends to hear children’s speech only as a foreign language, or as a lie.... Children have been treated ... as congenital fibbers, fakers and fantasisers.”
—Beatrix Campbell (b. 1947)
